Much too Often

[Justin Silverblade]

Much too Often

 

 

I have seen the stars,

Much too often.

In soft prayer I look above,

And wish them to soften,

The blows of life.

 

To bring to me fate,

Of good news.

In their great, glowing glory,

Point to me and choose,

That wanted path.

 

I look above and ask,

Take me there.

I’ve not the will to walk myself.

I look on and stare,

And sit, and sigh.

 

I have seen the stars,

Wished a word.

Wasted my time on luck,

With a thought too absurd

To speak aloud.

 

I have wasted hopes,

Dreams to be,

Upon the stars so great.

Silence, their reply to me,

Much too often.

Ouch.

 

Very good. :>)

Far too seldom

I chance to read

a bit of verse

that speaks to me

as this one did.

 

Very nice work, Justin.

ooh... we just had to do a mean essay in English comparing two star-related poems... *twitch*
